Third to last week - The one where we play catch up

Remember how I gave up Ketchup for lent? And Kari "gave up" drinking, smoking, sushi, coffee and running? Yeah, well this was the week where we did some catch up. As you know, we were so far ahead last year that there was no chance of catching us. And, as Jud's toilet will tell you, competition makes a horse-race. Having said that, we have us some competition on our hands, ladies and gentlemen. It's a two-way race between us and the Bi-Polar bears (we're guaranteed a spot at the party anyway, but we're not going to pull a team frank and say third is as good as first. It's still Frank place). So, let's get to the recap, folks, and see if we can't nail first place sooner or later.

Start time: Ten something.
End time: Oh, gosh. Late. Kudos to everyone who stayed until the end, but that time was bananas. I was very tired for my Bible Study the next day.
Pitchers of beer purchased: One.
Pitchers of charity beer consumed: One. We're not too proud. Thanks, Bi-Polars.
Pitchers of victory beer won: Two.
Of those, pitchers of charity beer given out: One. Right back atcha.

Everyone had some tough answers that night. Let's do them mathematically, shall we?

Ernest Hemmingway =/= Edgar Allen Poe.
The Telltale Heart =/= For whom the Bell tolls.
Jimmy =/= smart as he thinks he is.

Chilliwack =/= Nazareth.
That question =/= Dirty Harry, Craig.

String Quartet music =/= easy to figure out.

But the biggest goof of the night was from our question masters themselves, who asked the following question verbatim.

Question 10
6) Who wrote the poem "In Flanders Fields" John McCrae.

So, not only was the answer in the question, but it also was the wrong number. Yeesh.

Answer of the night: Whoever knew who any black miss Americas were. Oh, and how long you have to charge Green Lantern's ring. We didn't even know that one. We just had to figure it out through cartoons and action figure memories.

Other question weirdness of the night: Who knew that Isabel Person was a real Person? Oh, or was it Isabel Peron? Who knows.

Delicious Answer of the night: Craig, for thinking that the band was called Milli Vanilla. Mmmm. Ice Creamy.



Going into the final few rounds, here are the standings:

For the night.
Lady Godiva with 43
Urethra Franklins with 44.5
Plastered Bastards with 44.5
Push her down the stairs with 48.5
Bi-Polar Bears with 52
and
Travis with 52.5

A win is a win. We're creeping back up.

Overall for the season.
Lady Godiva with 377.5
Broad Street Brawlers with 405.5
Plastered Bastards with 411
Push her down the stairs with 448
Travis with 457.5
and
Bi-Polar Bears with 460.

It's ground to make up, but we can make it up. In the words of Pierre Trudeau, "Just watch us."
